A group of young people will hold a climate change protest in Aberdeen this week. More than 500 people have shown their interest in attending the event at 11am on Friday at Marischal College. The picketers are aiming “to show our world leaders we want something to be done about this”.

Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg has led a march of thousands of Belgian students who skipped classes for the seventh Thursday in a row to march through Brussels and draw more attention to fighting climate change.
